Notifications are sent by: direct email, social media and other online marketing outlets, and will include specific open/close dates. In general, spring scholarships typically open prior to the Thanksgiving break and close after the winter holiday break. Summer scholarships typically open early April and close mid-May.

Terms

In general, each scholarship recipient will receive only one (1) scholarship during a given time to make scholarships available to as many students as possible.

Scholarships are usually awarded for the full academic year (fall and spring semesters).

Scholarships can be applied only towards tuition and fees.

Additional terms and conditions that may apply to specific scholarships will be communicated through the AcademicWorks scholarship system and again on the award notification when an award is made to the student.

Outside Scholarships

There are many resources that can help you find and apply for scholarships outside of ACC. All resources are FREE. If any resource attempts to charge a fee for any services it is probably a scam and should be avoided.
